To the Erienas of Nicaragua.Since the advent of Wm. Walker into Cen

tral America, his severest conflicts have been,not with the native defenders of the soil, butagainst the willful misrepresentations andstudied calumnies of North American enmity.A povrerful opposition has arrayed itself inNew York against his success in the personand influence of Cornelius Vanderbilt, andevery expedient which ingenuity could devise,or malice originate, has been employed withsavage zeal in the unholy attempt of accomplisbing his overthrow. Treason, falsehoodand the foulest spirit of assassination havebeen subsidized to his service, and the blood

and misery of many hearts have attested thepartial success of his pitiless antagonism,Tbe treacheries induced, and the murders ofAmerican citizens committed, under his direc-

tion and through his instrumentality, havebeen so openlv and boldly avowed by the instruments of his iniquitous designs, that theyhave seemed to court, instead of shun, the in

famous judgment of the virtuous of mankind,

The purchased treasons and assassinations ofVanderbiit have, however, been Insufficient intheir prejudicial effects in compirison with the

insidious circulation, by his emissaries, of rumors of reverses befalling the American cause

in Nicaragua, intended to dampen the enthusiasm and discourage the exertions of those

who might be friendly to his success. Thisexpedient of malignity has been perpetratedthrough a period of months, and has doubtlessexercised a potent influence in disturbing thehnnes and exciting the apprehensions of thewell-dispos- ed portion of community.

In the recent dlsbandment of the forces ofLockridge, on the San Juan river, and the retirement of that officer from the theatre of hishopeless enterpiise, is seen the fruit of th

persevering and unscrupulous policy of theWall street financier, but the partial triumphwhich it affords him will only renderpoignant the inevitable sting of final disappointment. The position of Walker is no more

perilous to-d- ay than it was four months ago,when, through the irredeemable infamy of Van

derbilt, the San Juan river was surrendered to

the Costa Rican army, and its waters mingled

with the crimson streams of American hearts,

His position at Rivas is impregnable to the assaults of the allies, however, formidable theirforces may be. The leagued States of CentralAmerica are incapable of concentrating anarmy within six months which could give anyserious annoyance to the present position of

Gen. Walker. With five hundred men, he candefend Rivas against five thousand of the flow

er of 1 Central American chivalry. From thefirst of June to the first of November, the con

tinuouB rains of the tropics will render anything like a systematic warfare an utter im

practicability, and will as certain.y preventthe marching of troops from the adjacant Statesin Nicaragua. The armies will be compelled

to remain for the most part within their fort!lications, and Walker is more amply provided

for this necessity than the dis

couraged and impoverished army. In the mean

time aid can reach the American army by wayof Panama and the Pacific, and strenuous efforlsfrom various sources are concurring in

the speedy consummation of that project.The Wall street Commodore may exult at

the passing cloud which for a moment obscuresthe prosperous fortunes of the patriot in Nicaragua, but the sunshine will come, and whenhe reflects upon the victims sacrificed to hiscupidity sacrificed to his debasing lust of

gold sacrificed to his arts, his conspiracieand his maligflity, let him but look to Heavenand despair. " Room for the leper! Room I

The mare recent apprehensions of the friendsof Nicaragua have been awakened by the correspondence of the New Orleans Picayune,published in the journals of Memphis yesterday. That such a tissue of inconsistenciesand absurdities should receive the credanceof any reflecting person, is no more surprisingthan that a respectable new paper ostensiblyfriendly to the progress of Americanism inNicaragua should bo long retain a correspond-

ent, who has assiduously and scrupulously ab-

solved himself from any suspicion of ever

having written a truth in relation to Walkeror his army. The whole course of Francis W.

Rice, the Panama correspondent of the Pt'ca- -

yune, has been characterized by an unscrupu-lousne- ss

of exaggeration and a profligacyof that would do credit to themendacious accomplishments of the basestemployee of the Wall street capitalist.

The avowed enemy of Walker and his de

sigus, the truculent slave of the prejudiceswhich run riot in Panama, and the filterer ofinformation from Costa Rica bulletins, he is as

much capaciated to speak veraciously of themovements in Nicaragua, as hisbatanic Excellency would be to represent the true religion of

the Saviour. His late correspondence is but a

reproduction of the fabulous perils, which havesurrounded Walker for many months, andwhich the first ray of reliable intelligence hasinvariably dissipated. The prolific immagina-tio- n

and pen of this redoubtable correspondenthas hemmed in, surrounded and surrenderedthe American army innumerable times; and,not disconcerted by the repeated revelations of

his mendacity, " like the dog, he returns to his

vomit, and like the sow to her wallowing in the

mire."The destiny of Walker, I maintain, is not

thus summarily to be sealed. He has enemies

unrelenting and merciless, but he has friends as

vigilant and untiring. Hearts as warm and val-

orous as ever throbbed in human hearts are

pulsating with eagerness to illustrate their de

votion to his cause, and the cause or itepubiicanism and the South, by the generous sacrifice

of their blood, 'le recent disaster on the San

Juan river, so far fro.n discouraging their laud.

able ambition, acts oni as a stimulus to their

exertions. It is not where the sun shines and

fortune prospers, that the friiP.dly heart reveals

its wealth of sympathy and devotiop, but most

does it exhibit its usefulness when adversityriaima the tribute of Its sincerity. Now is the

time when the friends of Nicaragua should re

buke the presumptions of Northern avarice,

and the calumnies everywhere of the malignant.by responding, with liberal hands and willing

hearts, to the necessities of Walker and his

gallant Boldiers, and insuring the finality and

permanence of bis success.E. J. C. KfiWEN. --

Washington, April 27. The mail servicefor the States of New England and New Yorkhaving been disposed of, apparently to generalsatisfaction, and with promise of greater effi- -ciency than ever before. Postmaster GeneralBrown has evidenced a determination to extendthe facilities of the l)enarttnnt without nar- -tiality to the people of every State and Terr!tory of our wide spread and rapidly increasingpopulation. Un the hrat day of July next theDepartment will put into operation entirelynew transportation over the remaining twenty-fiv- e

States and Territories, at the followingcost: New Jersey, $481; Pennsylvania, $5,131;Maryland, $6,650; Virginia, $2,386; NorthCarolina, $3,814; South Carolina, $1,874;Georgia, $7,8SS ; Florida, $450; Alahama, $7ifiQ- - Mio.iminni 5ii n7n .

Tottl, $221,331.

Congress seems to have bad special referenceto improvements long needed in Texas, and theDepartment has accordingly seconded its viewsby securing coach service from No- -cogdocbes to Waco Village, 1U miles, thus intersecting tbe three times a week service inEastern with Western Texas. There is alsoprovided semi-week- ly service in steamboatsand coaches from Galveston, Texas, (the emporium or the atate,) to Urockett, a distanceor 2w miles, crossing the servicefrom Ked river to Houston, lexas. these arrangements will provide important mail facili-ties to many county seats and court houseswhich have hitherto been destitute.

In Arkansas semi-week- ly mails will be puton from Des Arc (on White river) to FortSmith, on the Arkansas river distance 250miles.

In Mississippi from Macon, the terminusof the railroad to Carroll ton, Miss., 200 mileBin extent, three times a week, two horse coachservice is employed, connecting Eastern withWestern Mississippi.

Terrible Accident ox the SouthwestRailroad. We copy the following account ofa serious railroad accident on this road fromthe St. Louis Republican, of last Monday:

"A letter from Iron Hill, Franklin county,dated at 2 p. m. or iuesday.give us the paniculars or a dreadful accident which occurred alittle before 11 o'clock of that day. It bappened on tbe lath section of the SouthwestBranch of the Pacific Road. It appears thatone or the blasts in tbe rock had missed hre.Mr. Thos. V. O. Sullivan, foreman, then attempted to put down an iron rod in the blast,when it exploded, instantly killing Mr. buuivanand also a young man by the name of ThomasHurley, aged about twenty-on- t years, lhelatter was employed in hauling away rocxBoth bodies were so horribly mutilated that itwas almost impossible to recognize them. Mr.Sullivan's head was completely severed fromhis body. A huge piece of rock fell upon hisbody it was ten feet long and three feet thick,and four feet wide, lhe body or Mr. Hurleywas even more snocKingiy mangieo a piece orrock eight feet square fell upon him, crushingbim to a mummy evervbone was broken tbewbole of his intestines were exposed to view,after tbe rock was removed, it was witn somedifficulty that tbe remains could be placed upona board, so that tbey could be taken to a bousenear wbere tbe accident occurred.

" A young man by tbe name of Thomas Shea,who was stooping down witn air. bulllvan atthe time of the explosion, was blown a distanceof fifty-tw- o feet, ond yet escaped with bis life

only bruising his hand, and being violentlystunned."

Scarcity in Missouri. The St. LouisEvening Nevs states that tbe scarcity of grainand grass in the interior of the State, is a cir--cumstance attested by the most serious facts,The News says

" In some parts of the State, actual want isexperienced, while, everywhere, farmers areforced to a system of close feeding to preventtheir supplies from giving out. The winterttra an Innw anil virp. that nrdinarv atnMraof 5

Miss Sarah P. Martin, a voung, fair, andbeautiful lady, who resides at Xenla, Ohio, wasleft, by the recent demise of her father, Dr.Joshua Martin, the sole heiress or siuu.uwfifty thousand or which is casn on deposit invarious banks. Being a minor, Ronard V.Poague, Esq., of Xenia, was appointed herguardian. Miss Martin is represented as aHdy of many accomplishments, of captivatingaddress, beautiful ; and as the heiress or a largefortune, the " cynosure of all eyes," especiallythose of one Ualvln Uoyd, whose attentionswere by no means displeasing to the young--

lady, tier favor or fortune excited in him memost ambitious hopes : and as there could beno prospect of obtaining the consent of herguardian to their unien, a plan of escape wasproposed, to which she appears to have acceded.

Air. ifoague nad his country residence sixmiles from Xenia. During tbe evening of Fri- -

the 17th inst, two gentlemen called at hishouse, out he oeing absent they left a note,stating their desire to see him on business ofurgent importance, and designating a placewhere he could meet them. Supposing that itwas a matter of business solely, he did notcall on them until tbe ensuing morning. Theyinformed him that Boyd had been seen on thestreets ot .ema wiui uib wara, ana mat a ru-mor of their intended elopement prevailed.Mr. P. being totally unacquainted with Boyd,tney toia mm tnai at was a man oi very doubtful character, a reputed gambler, and had oncebeen tried for a very serious crime. Mr. Poa-gue repaired to his ward, stated what hehad learned or-i- rumor, and of Boyd's char-acter. She seemed thankful for the informa-tion, she said would have no further inter-course with bim. Her frank repudiation ofBoyd allayed all suspicion on the part of Mr.foague, ana the matter rested.

Monday, the zum miss .Martin desired asum of money from her guardian, to purchasematerials for dresses, as she was purposing toenter the seminary at Steublnvllle, to completehtr education. The money being given, shestated that she intended taking the cars thatmorning to visit an aunt who resides at Spring--

held, between iJelJetontaine and Aenia. asshe was unattended on the cars, ConductorCole, whose trip terminated at Springfield, gaveher every attention, and on arrivisg at theirdestination procured a carriage and conveyedher to the hotel. She soon after returned tothe depot and took the cars for JJellefontame,when Boyd, who had been mysteriouslyconcealed on the train up to that time, appear- -ed and took charge or the lady,

,.In, th the news had spread overAenia that the heiress had elopea with Mr.Boyd. Mr. Poague in search, found a trunkwhich his ward had inadvertently left, and, onopening it, discovered a package of letterswhich she had received from Boyd, in whichme pian oi ciupcuiem giveu ia aeiaii. xuc

were to escape through Virginia toPennsylvania; as in that State no license wouldstand as a barrier to their union. They wereto hurry on to this city, where tbe nuptialswere to be consummated, lhe true state otaffairs flashed upon the mind of Mr. Poague ina moment. He telegraphed to Bellefontaine tohave the fugitives arrested, but received noanswer. Suspecting the operator to be in collusion with iJoyd, he started, accompanied oyJudge Mills of Xenia, and a constable, forBellelontame. Arriving there, he round thatthey had taken a carriage, which was pro- -

u imuugu uic a6cm.y uj. u uFoi.ui,c,a"'c ul " J """'" ""i1")

had departed no one knew where. Mr. Poaguestarted immediately for Columbus, sent theconstable to guard the road at Crestline, andleft Judge Mills on the watch at Bellefontaine.Miss Martin, in her haste, had a satchel attbe hotel, containing daguerreotypes of herselfand Bovd. some money, iic.

A brother of Boyd had been dispatched forits recovery, but found it in Jud?e Mills' possession. He would give no intimation, however of tbe course taken by the tugitives. Arriving at Columbus, Mr. Poague detailed :watchman to guard the Xenia road, to preventtbe fugitive lovers escaping to Wheeling or intoAlexandria, Washington county the GretnaGreen of all enamored under difficulties. Thesearrangements being completed, Mr. Poaguewent onto Cresline, where he was joined byJudge Mills and the constable neither havingany tidings or the escaped pair, iney wereseated in the telegraph office in that place,talking over tbe plans already perfected, anddevising others, wben a gentleman called Mr.P. aside, informed bim that the operator wasin collusion with the one at Bellefontaine thathe knew all of Boyd's plans, and what they(the pursuers) bad done, and where he had stationed look-out- s. A new movement on theboaids was, therefore, necessary. It seemedas though Boyd had every official in the Stateinterested in bis success. Mr. P., in companywith the Judge and bis informant, then tooktbe cars for Mansfield, and quietly stationed aconstable there. A decoy was sent over thewires to Cresline, stating that the Judge andMr. Poague had gone on to Pittsburgh, and thatthe coast was clear. Judge Mills then went onto Steubenville, and Mr. Poague arrived in thiscity on Wednesday night, telegraphing to Bellefontains to have a look-o- ut at that post.

Here our worthy Mayor and bis police wereenliBted in the drama. Information was madebefore him Thursday evening, by Mr. Poague,to the effect that he was the lawfully appoint-ed guardian of Sarah P. Martin, a minor, andthat on Tuesday, the 21st, Boyd did abduct andcarry her away from the place where she badbeen left in accordance with her father's will ;this abduction, as he believes, being designedby Boyd as tbe means of coming into posses-sion of the estate of her father.

Mr. Poague has telegraphed to have the da'-- uerreotypes. which were Wtinthe satchelforWarded to his honorUHeiMayor. It havingoccurred to him that thrparties might have es--caped by tbe way of Toledo to Erie or Dun-kirk, he has advised the authorities there toexamine the register of all boats putting in atthese ports, and detain tbe parties should theyarrive there. A guard has also been placedat Crestline, and other various points. It seemsimpossible that the enamored should es-

cape their pursuers, so closely has erery ave-nue of travel been gurded. Up,to ten o'clockFriday no tidings of the heess and her loverbad been received.

Postcript. A dispatch was received late lastevening announcing tbe arrest of Boyd, inSpringfield, Ohio. Tbey were on the immedi- -

ate eve of marriage, when an unwelcome partyinterfereJ and forbade the bans. The marriageis DroDaoiv nostDoced. tne 11 fa un 'ibisr .... f r . . . -- s"lime "tne locKsmttn laugned at love."

Presentation or Swords. Three elegantand costly swords have been received in Wash-ington, to be presented, at the request of theBritish Government one to Capt.
